Logan D Apr 15 After a scientist (Stephen Galaida) creates a robotic look alike, the automaton begins to develop emergent intelligence and emotions. Intriguing concept based on Frankenstein that is sadly marred by the flat acting of its lead. Still, I enjoyed seeing a film endeavoring to be substantial instead of fluffy. See more 05/25/2018 Excellent dystopic cuberpunl film. See more 10/08/2015 Not only does Puzzlehead appear to be set in a dystopia, it looks as if it were filmed in one. As an indie sci-fi movie it is excellent and the filmmakers do a great job of making virtues out of necessities (e.g. make the wooden acting and the low budget a part of the odd and dystopic vibe). While the scoring was surprisingly well-done, overall the sound is poor (as other reviewers have noted). Puzzlehead is not a great film but is great for what it is and I admire the spirit put into it.

See more 08/24/2013 It is rare i find a film that has me hooked & gives you no time at all to think & lose interest for even a second 'Puzzlehead' is most definitely one of these films. It is dark unflinching mostly original science fiction genius in my humble opinion of James Bai's excellent film. In a post apocalyptic future where the use of technology is banned in this some would say re-imagining of Frankenstein, also cleverly narrated by lead character Walter(Stephen Galaida)who creates a robotic clone of himself named Puzzlehead(also playe by Stephen Galaida) for basic household chores.....the robot becomes more adventurous & builds (unplanned by his creator) memories & emotions that lead to obvious conflict between the two caused by the entrance into the fold of Julia(Robbie Shapiro)whom is lusted after in different ways painfully slowly by Walter & then Puzzlehead that lead to deathly consequences!! It is difficult to review this film without delving deeper & creating spoilers which are the part of reading reviews i dislike but i will stop there apart from urging people to watch this very impressive indie that was done with a very small budget that makes it even more impressive. Cult status it will no doubt have now or in near future should be enjoyed by you all. See more 09/02/2012 Great idea of a man, his machine and the love interest they both share but the acting is a bit rough and the dialogue is flat. Not bad for an independant production of what is basically a long Twilight Zone episode. See more Read all reviews
